Weekly Menu - Week of September 10th

Well, last weeks menu just kinda got thrown out the window. As is usually the case, when I put off going to the grocery store due to a busy weekend . . .I really hate going so I keep putting it off and get creative with what is left in the house. I did the same thing last week only so I could keep my grocery list as small as possible for the main purpose of running in and running out! That's ok though, that means I could carry over some of my grocery budget to this weeks shopping (which is good since it is Kick off Sunday!)

This is the plan for this week:

Saturday: We have Plan A or Plan B - Plan A is the boys and I will meet my husband after work to do some shopping. My kids need something other than sandals now that it is getting cooler out! OR Plan B - we will order out if my brother comes to stay with us (this is up in the air right now!)

Sunday: Ok, This is Kick-Off Sunday and we are HUGE football fans in this household. To kick off the season we love to have lots of appetizer type foods so we can munch all day! I promise to share recipes of the things we love! Bacon Wrapped Sliders, Bacon Wrapped Crackers, Bob Armstrong Dip, Southwestern Tossed Salad and Chips, Warm Blue Cheese and Bacon Dip, Pumpkin Pie Dip and Layered Pizza Dip. (Can you guess what I'll be eating for lunch all week HA!) *Disclaimer - not sure I will make all of this yet - I have to see how far the grocery budget stretches!

Monday: I've decided to challenge myself with one meatless meal a week. Not sure how long we'll keep this up but I think it is a great way to try some different things.
So, we are having Creamy Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups, Green Beans, Garlic Bread.

Tuesday: Darryl has to go to the recording studio today so he won't be home for dinner . . .more than likely I'll just pick up a box of Mac and Cheese or a frozen pizza for dinner for the kids and I.

About Me

I am a wife and mother - and a stay at home mom. I have two boys who are 4 and 5 and was asked "What do you do?" and my response was . .. nothing? I'm unemployed? I stay at home? I'm a mom? At which time I realized . . .I'm "Unworking". I'm "just" a mom who doesn't work; what an understandment!

Family

My Little Fam

My husband Darryl and I have been married for 12 years and have known each other for . . 13 years. We met on-line through a site called Christian Matchmaker.com on Oct. 31, 2000, met in person on December 16, 2000, were engaged on March 18, 2001 and Married August 4, 2001. When you are "old" you know what you are looking for!! We were married for 7 years before being blessed with baby #1, Josh, who is currently 5 years old and than baby #2, Nate, who is currently 4 years old. We also have some furry kids too - China is our sweet pooch whom we adopted in July 2003. She is a dignified mutt who loves to sleep . . and . . .sleep. (Couch potato!). Than we have Misty who is my cat. She is about 18 years old but still acts like she is a kitten. That's us :-)
